Crash Test Dummy - the Horse Air Bag
The Galway Races are in full swing this week – promising an exciting spectacle for thousands of visitors but a dangerous one for those few riders who fall foul of a contrary nag.
Unless, of course they consider some safety apparel from one website. Say hello to the wearable horse air bag.
This human air bag as modelled by Juliane on their website… immediately inflates on impact to form a body cushion protecting the riders neck, spine, ribs and vital organs.
It’s a nice idea but I don’t see why the makers are limiting themselves to the niche equestrian market – the wearable human airbag could have numerous uses – protecting kids from playground bullies, vacuum packing school lunches or even filled with helium to offer a more environmentally friendly alternative to flying.
